San Diego woke up today under a thick blanket of June gloom, with low coastal clouds parked over the city and San Diego International Airport (KSAN) reporting cloudy skies and about 64°F this morning. The marine layer is expected to thin by mid-morning, giving most neighborhoods a partly sunny afternoon and a high near 73°F along the shoreline.
Afternoon Outlook
By the afternoon, skies should turn partly sunny with northwest breezes around 5–10 mph and highs near 73°F at the coast, with inland neighborhoods running a bit warmer. The marine layer will slowly deepen overnight, pushing night-and-morning low clouds farther into the inland valleys by tomorrow and Friday. For official timing and the finer details, check the National Weather Service at NWS San Diego.
Surf’s Up, Hazard Flags Too
A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect through Friday, with south swells driving surf of roughly 3–5 feet and occasional sets up to 6 feet, especially at south-facing beaches. Lifeguards are warning of a high rip-current risk and strong longshore currents that can make swimming hazardous even when the waves do not look that big. If you head to the beach, officials urge you to swim only at a lifeguarded tower and follow posted flags and instructions from crews, according to the City of San Diego Lifeguards.
Winds Picking Up, Weekend Cooldown
Breezy afternoon and evening winds will develop in the mountain passes and deserts through Friday, where gusts of 25–35 mph are possible, while the coast and valleys stay on the lighter side. Temperatures will cool modestly into the weekend before a gradual warming trend next week, so if you are planning inland hikes or outdoor events, earlier in the day is your best bet. Keep an eye on daily beach flags and the latest outlook from the National Weather Service before heading to the water or locking in coastal plans.
